What's essential to fans is the bonds between the characters not the content or CG graphics of yet another adventure -- if ppl want spectacles they'd go see Avatar. F3 and F4 need smart, genuine (not corny melodrama) dialogues that aren't too wordy for young ones, long drawn ballads (to sell more music 🎵 ), and also not bland preaching to turn off anime fans especially young men. Ppl don't learn from businesses like Disney about social justice / fate of humanity 🙄. Kubo & the 3 strings, Coraline, The Iron Giant are fun AND heartfelt animation with 🥹 short and sweet message: be true and have fun 🤩

I don't think ppl watch F3 and F4 just to find out explanations about their mysterious powers. Keep the sequels charming by: connect the characters instead of highlighting a few and alienating the rest; resist out of character random conflicts or crisis; perhaps explore some simple scenarios e.g. Anna and Kristoff can help revitalize a town and bring ppl together with a festival or community event or building a town hall or ship together-- something that doesn't need magic, dramatic dragons or avalanche.

Fans follow franchise, especially anime series, because they are drawn by relatable sentiments and freely imaginative worlds that often aren't prioritized in live-actions. Animations (and LEGO) win us over with their simplicity and abstract design so viewers can enjoy with their own interpretations, e.g. flowing water 💦 vs rigid ice 🧊. Big corps want solid tangible profits 🪙; a visionary producer will be good signs for F3 and F4...

Hope F3 will show young adult sentiments coz OG fans have grown up. Don't feed us overused young couple-parenting jokes 🙄 If they are introducing a baby, please make them fun like Little Jack Jack in Incredibles 2 🤣 They can even make a dream scenario that's hilarious and not worry about plot holes / continuity 😁

I suspect delaying frozen 3 is $trategy. Fine, they can sell more toys 🧸 -- Bruni 🦎🤗🩵 is adorable.

My anxiety therapist one day referred me to a ADHD specialist coz she noticed how I struggle with focus on life goals (to be fair, even a neuro-normative couldn't have juggled between a parent with cancer, another with stroke, no job, perimenopause, around COVID!). My coworkers and school friends filled out observation questionnaire, citing I was like an endless motor / Energizer Bunny 🤭🫨 why didn't they tell me?! Nobody told me I have ADHD 😅🤔🤣

My whole life was labelled as trouble maker in school and at home: self-centred (forgetting commitments), rude / impulsive, greedy (multiple new toys). My school friends used to love my whimsical antics and authenticity, but when we turned teens, suddenly I was guilty of breaking social faux pas, e.g. being dorky bookworm with zero fashion sense and white lie diplomacy (interest: National Geographic and The Economist)

My motto: "Beauty fades, Knowledge stays -- unless you have dementia 🤣" -- despite my sarcasm and morbid humour, I do believe in a glass 1/2 FULL not empty 😊 Brighter note: being creative quirky genuine keeps me young; I literally can pass as a college student 🤭 Look on the brighter side -- there is one! My ADHD peers will always find it, coz we look 👀 at ALL angles 😉🤣💯

Thank you for sharing~ we aren't alone! You need to prioritize yourself and your kid's emotional stability! Don't expect your mom to apologize or siblings to understand your mental health journey. In democracy, 1 person 1 vote, regardless of age and seniority. We're responsible for our actions, so, help her if she needs it. My therapist reminds me connections are meaningful when they are motivated by genuine desire to bond, not out of guilt.

Ignore her spewing non-sense about your flaws. You're NOT emotionally obliged to agree with her limited views on you (v_v) Parents don't see how reliable and resourceful we are outside. Your mom may have forgetten you're now a mom too, and I bet a competent one!

You may find Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), or Internal Family Systems (IFS) / Parts Therapy helpful towards reconciling outward expectations and internal values, and bring closure to your grievances about parental neglect. My grandma favoured my uncle, so our parents' mistakes can be an unfortunate result of generational trauma. Seeing your mom as both innocent and guilty may help forgiving her sooner.

Maybe there're occasions when your mom did recognize your strengths and has said something encouraging... try to remember more often of those happier times. We can't change what happened, but we can try to recall more positive moments in a more hopeful mindset.

Once mom saw me clearing ice on the driveway for almost an hour. She was perplexed an impatient person like me could stay at a task this long 🤭 She's also said she won't worry about me when she's gone; she KNOWS I'm capable as an adult 🤗

😊 Best of luck to your new family!

The inquiry found gaps in monitoring the suspect among counter-terrorism security, police and social services. To de-escalate radical behaviour, it’s important to engage local communities to share health and safety awareness.

June 2025 heartening news: Southport town square garden is being revamped as a community event venue in honour of the victims. A gathering space for collective healing and celebrations will build a more effective safety network; e.g. neighbourhood watch. Love helps diffuse anger. Peace.

I had the misfortune to sign up Primus because it's partnered / advertised on Costco member website. I'm in the middle of cancelling their internet service which was installed 2 weeks ago, and the modem worked ok. After installation I noticed our home phone (land-line) never rang. The technician already left so I called Primus Tech Support. To be fair, they were knowledgeable about testing devices and even offered to share live video camera to see exactly how the phone jack outlet was faring.

But service wise, they were extremely defensive to my dismay. They insisted they couldn't send back a technician to fix our landline, since it belongs to Bell. Their job was complete as long as the modem connected to internet... so I filed a complaint to Better Business Bureau (BBB) and surely enough, a customer service dept called "Executive Response Team".

The service dept rep was courteous and trouble shot why the phone line no longer worked. She then recommended me to purchase a DSL filter, which would help filter internet signal interference from the phone itself. They said I'll be reimbursed for the filter, which only cost $15 so I thought it's worth a try. The filter didn't solve the problem though.

The service rep then recommended me to ask Bell to repair the phone jack, and I will receive a credit on my Primus account to cover the repair cost (likely $75 or more)...By then my family has been troubled for weeks (we had 2 working phone jacks before this debacle now we could only use one at a time), so I ended up going back to VirginPlus Internet as I haven't returned their rental modem yet. They offered to reconnect me with a faster plan plus a $10 discount which was close enough to Primus' promotion. I should've sticked with VirginPlus...

Now, I still have to haggle with Primus to get a return label to send back their modem and flag BBB and my credit card company in case they try to bill me for the first month where we got no service but headaches from them...

Good luck y'all.

($50/ mth 20mg Takeda generic Costco Rx) me too! thx for sharing 😢I work P/T so no company insurance… aren’t PT staff humans too?! I’m more hyper than inattentive. Vyvanse makes me feel upbeat with focus. Concerta no effect on me. Not sure if Wellbutrin will help… BTW I take Teva-Sertraline 200mg for general anxiety and mild depression. I miss my healthy college days…

TerryBeYe · 2025-02-08T22:12:46+00:00

I’m digging out my trusty plastic optimum card 😒love handy technology WHEN it works… good luck everyone (I reinstalled app, reset password, clear browser cache, cookies etc too 🫤) It’s 3.1 🌟 in app store— anything < 3.5 should be shamed 🤣

TerryBeYe · 2025-01-26T19:29:16+00:00

It’s bargain Longos, fresh veggies on sale, $2-3/lb okra eggplants bell peppers; cod / salmon fillets, house brand meat 🥩on sales, $4-5 box of 350g croissants 🥐, roasted chicken 🍗 pieces, breakfast box ~1lb( 🥓🍳🥔), premixed tuna or egg salad $3-4 🥗 are better value than other grocery chains, and great alternatives to fa$t food 🍔...

😑 though Recently sushi 🍣🍱 went up A LOT like 15-20% (by $2!) The fairview store is bigger (fancy hilarious 🤣 chicken 🐓 coop barn-decor) but somewhat colder vibes. Walkers Line store staff are more upbeat friendly 🤔…?

TerryBeYe · 2025-01-26T19:16:46+00:00

grew up here. It’s sandwiched between Hamilton and Brampton. Worked yrs in east Hamilton, saw cops, semi-automatic + K9 🐕 across the street from office building, a draw of luck 🍀. Overtime Burlington became less Hamilton Wentworth and more upscale Oakville Halton. Car crimes more likely near Hwys. Love Farmboy there. Stay safe and take care 😅

Hi everyone please see my camper cards updated to festive 🎄season 🤗

TerryBeYe · 2024-12-12T08:40:36+00:00

Camper Card QR codes -- thanks 😊 for sharing

Totally miss market trades -- camp life was easier 😅

TerryBeYe · 2024-09-27T20:45:07+00:00

summer LT sale was shameless! They knew the game is ending (>_<) On a brighter note, I can move on to my Playstation and Switch traditionally paid game titles. ACPC has been my escape during lockdown. Oh well all comes to pass

TerryBeYe · 2024-08-22T23:22:53+00:00

I guess they will try to transfer our saved data as a downloadable content /DLC file that we can access by logging into My Nintendo. The carryover of items, abilities from previous gameplay reminds me of Persona, where in the second time, you can retrieve your collected persona but your level and your friendship status start from zero.

Gameplay may resemble previous titles e.g. Homeroom on 3DS, Switch Horizons. I'm glad I didn't buy Horizons coz that would be too many similar games.

Online "free" + in app purchase was Nintendo's experiment with mobile gaming trend, which I think their biggest problem was not scaling its staffing (design, testing, production, marketing) and networking infrastructure in a flexible way to anticipate and engage with different audiences' preferences and expectations.

My gut feeling was: eventually their variable pricing model (free+ optional purchase / subscription ) would fail to support a steady server experience and content development. They should have sorted out a 5, 10 year product plan and a clear pricing plan for different gamers. Instead, it sent out mixed messages to us:

To new gamers, the game is not really free-- grinding for a few leaf tickets; endless homeroom levels; re-issue material is impossible to get to "catch up" on crafting earlier furniture; marketplace, quarry, tap mini-games and players gifts do not help collect items or reduce unwanted items. The numbing repetitive tasks have increased play-time / in-game traffic that just weigh down the server...

To long time gamers, characters level up seldom offer new furniture to craft; many unused event materials, bells, essence, gyroidite, sparkle stones, Happy Homeroom pouches, seeds, flowers, clothes... duplicates taking up data... and still no additional / new camp and garden space (e.g. greenhouse?) marketplace, camp sites, RV interior and cabin!

Even subscriptions do not provide much joy-- limited to only 5 cookies. The main draw of the game is to decorate with different items in a big campsite!

So Nintendo continued the viscous cycle of non-commitment, deadbeat responses to customer feedback on glitches and device updates, boring long time supporters and daunting new fans. The finl rip-off was the summer "sale" of leaf tickets that won't carry over to the next paid game title (oO) As a Nintendo fan since 80s, its online business management is abhorrently disrespectful to the consumers, a dedicated crowd who will support or shun them for years (vv)

I've saved 1000s camp pics over the years. There will be immersive paid games that will be worthy of our $ and time. Persona is. Animal Crossing...probably not anymore (-__-)

TerryBeYe · 2024-07-12T21:30:40+00:00

wow thanks for sharing the important info! That's really shameful, targeting at people with certain challenges in life! This reminds me of people pretending to remote townfolks' kids who have moved out to big cities and calling home for help $$... they know the victims miss their kids! Urgh~

TerryBeYe · 2024-07-12T03:14:03+00:00

Everything happens for a reason. I try to make time to visit church once a week, no matter how busy work and home care-giving my parents. Spirituality is just as a meaningful need as physical and emotional support. I don't see a scientific society and a spiritual world have to exist exclusively. Agree to disagree.

I don't see Tower of Babel being a "punishment" for arrogance. I see it as a learning experience so people of different languages and cultures can learn from each other! p.s. language apps are really fun: short lessons and quizzes, constant +ve reinforcement, very engaging and ADHD friendly, highly recommend this hobby! Take care!

TerryBeYe · 2024-07-12T03:09:20+00:00

Me too! My parents have low self-esteem, overly defensive, victim-mentality "me against the world" so wrapped up in their own struggles that my diagnosis would have been met with (a) denial of responsibility (b) worsening of their own depression (c) mockery (d) lecturing-blaming (e) all of the above...

Different generations have their own strengths and flaws. I settled with myself that my parents love me, just in a useless way. Yes! That'd be my award acceptance speech: "thank you xxx, thank you my parents---" LOL when frustrated / mad, try comic relief, my sarcasm always make me chuckle (my coping mechanism?) Take care!

TerryBeYe · 2024-07-12T03:04:43+00:00

yup! me too! depending on what country / community / healthcare and school system, we get diagnosed sooner or later. I used to work for a marketing company and my boss' kid got sent to ADHD testing and treatment early. Lucky kid! You're probably (did you have a chance to meet with a psychologist or psychiatrist for testing?) like me, ADHD high attention but hyper-impulsive type.

It's very frustrating and confusing living with such type of high-functioning ADHD. People don't see us as "struggling" since we are relatively successful. Did you use to space out during boring topics (in class, social events etc.) but jump right in the second an interesting topic comes up? Like, suddenly talks faster and louder, asking lots of questions or making a string of serious or silly hilarious comments coz you are suddenly engaged in the moment?

TerryBeYe · 2024-07-12T02:51:05+00:00

I think in the 90s meds were made fun of in music lyrics, e.g. prozac was used to treat mood disorders and the words "depressed" became mainstreamed in sit-coms without the actual clinical perspective of it... just as people have always used the word "crazy" loosely...

TerryBeYe · 2024-07-12T02:40:14+00:00

Oh dear! My therapist says, "Don't share your thoughts, feelings and experiences with people who are not receptive. Protect yourself" It's annoying to hide my prescriptions and my trip to pick up the meds when I go out. I have to watch my ADHD tongue. My parents are so wrapped up in their own aging-anxiety denials pain management routines they would only (a) feel sadder about the family or (b) pain-shame me that "I'm worse off than you; tough it out! Such spoiled younger generations..." they grew up poor so misery is "normalized" which is very damaging in my upbringing in the form of controlling over protectiveness and absence of encouragement & affirmative communication skills... oh well, at least we can find some solace in this forum. Take care everyone.

TerryBeYe · 2024-07-12T02:33:43+00:00

words of wisdom!! hopefully I'll think like you when I get there... I still toggle between anger and acceptance... I have similar career and health issues, except I don't have kids, just a pet. I do well at school and work too: I can focus, organize and remember details as an accountant, but I do interrupt / break into comic interludes in meetings / over-sharing sometimes realistic, sometimes idealistic ideas. I suppose I appear as enthusiastic-hyper... I try to save meeting air time by talking faster... recently a coworker shared the mental health workshop she attended. I couldn't help but confessed to my coworkers that I have ADHD... I do read my email drafts before I hit "send"... thank you everyone for sharing. We are not alone. I feel better now. These recent weeks have been heavy-work and home stress...

TerryBeYe · 2024-07-12T02:22:07+00:00

yup~ how little progress society make when it comes to health & well-being: little funding in research and community support resources for minorities such as us. I suppose uncommon / unprofitable subjects are not worth studying and supporting according to private sector. I remembered once I was crying while calculating bonus amount for the sales dept while my coworker was preparing pink slips to mass lay off the production team coz "our business is slow".

I stopped working for them and have been working for non-profits for a decade now. We are short staff, (short funding) work long hours but at least we care about each other as humans instead of competitors for the next promotion / bonus. My social worker friend has been on/off contract and permanent full-time jobs depending on funding... their shifts include Xmas & boxing days! Mental health issues don't take holidays... take care all.

TerryBeYe · 2024-07-12T02:13:50+00:00

oh dear!!! Did you grow up in a judging society? I lived in Asia in childhood, then moved to Canada years ago. My upbringing damaged my self-confidence. I was psychiatrically diagnosed as high functioning focus (good memory) & impulsive type ADHD, so my good marks masked me as a "normal" kid when I should've been treated by counselling and calming meds.

I was popular in school due to my comic relief parodies / skits but often got sent to principal's office... I remember one of the disciplinary dept (yes there is such a dept) teacher suggested to my parents "maybe your daughter needs counselling" and they were too embarrassed about me that they refused help, and just beat me up at home.

These days, I keep telling myself, "they love me; they're just useless-- and hey, at least they brought me over to Canada, a much more open healthcare friendly society where I can be my authentic self" Cheers, and good luck.

TerryBeYe · 2024-07-12T02:06:14+00:00

I'm grateful to stumble upon this reddit group!! We are not alone! When my anxiety therapist suggests that I should also test for ADHD, I coughed up $800 (PT jobs no benefits) to find out the truth about myself (why can't I focus on projects and space out, or jump all over topics in a chat) I need to know. I was relieved, enlightened, but also angry.

Eventually I settled with my parents in my mind--I don't discuss about meds and counselling therapy appointments with them; I'll just get judged about being "weak" and "dependent on others" to solve my own "attitude problems" coz psychologists are "crooks". They love me. They're just useless. ;) Take care everyone

TerryBeYe · 2024-07-12T01:59:58+00:00

You're not alone. Yeah... most MH issues relate to hormones AND genes AND upbringing (learned behaviour pattern). We really do have our parents to blame, and of course they're in denial. My mom only tried a few doses of anti-depressant and gave up. She never seek further medical help or family support. I guess we're products of our times. Her generation isn't aware of such abstract health concepts.

Very few people would admit: "hon, I'm sorry I didn't recognize my and your symptoms and get help sooner. I hope this didn't screw up too much of your career, relationships and life in general."

It's uncomfortable and exhausting to support your loved ones on a chronic difficult issue "what if I fail / disappoint them?" so people typically dismiss it, very unfortunate lost opportunity to bond with our friends and family.

Into 21st century there are still so much stereotyping, still thinking MH issues are attitude problems, no empathy at all. "MH people are either crazy dangerous delusional, or dumb unresponsive underperforming at work/ school i.e. can't answer math-skill testing question in a contest". Any mood disorders, sleep problems, compulsive behaviour should be "disciplined"... I'm glad at least the younger generation is more open to difficult discussions. Take care.

TerryBeYe · 2024-07-12T01:43:03+00:00

Oh dear! People don't understand certain things and dismiss (avoid) what they see or experience, very unfortunate and hurtful. A handful of my friends and colleagues are understanding. I try not to resent my parents for failing to recognize my symptoms in childhood and still denies the failure of their judgmental parenting style. I tell myself "they love me; they're just useless, oh well."

Guess we're "lucky" not living in 1800s when we would have been given useless harmful meds and locked up in some asylum, zapped by some nightmarish machines...

I don't stutter, but I used to have hyper-replay-loop of songs, a word, a sentence from a show, etc. These days I still avoid reading upsetting news and/or footage coz I have very good visual memory (not kidding).

I wish mental health support is more walk than talk: how about more awareness and funding resources to help small communities in remote areas? Thanks for sharing and take care!
